What book do you like to read?

[Saren Achara]

I have many books that I keep on neglecting to read, the book that I enjoyed the most is the first dune book by Frank Herbert, published in 1965. It is so complicated for me to read this book but I continue to re read Dune because the universe sounds appealing to me.

I like the first few dune books (Dune, messiah, children of dune), very much and read them several times.
I used to read a lot of fantasy and historical fiction (like lord of the rings and the three musketeers), but nowadays I like to read "real adventure" books.
For example: Around the world in 80 days, or Eat and Run, or Running Britain or Relentless.

If you are interested in Sci-Fi books, I really liked: everything from William Gibson and Philip K. Dick, if you like Star Wars I really liked the X-Wing books and the Timothy Zahn books. The Star Trek books are neat too. I am a big fan of the Shadowrun books or the The Stainless Steel Rat series.

Here is a list of other good Sci-Fi books.

the other dune books were written by his son right? are they still good?

[Mynutor]

They are quite different. I don't like the last three books of the original series at all (God Emperor, Heretics or Chapterhouse) so I didn't read hunters of dune or sandworms of dune.

From the new series (cowritten by Kevin J Anderson who has several good Star Wars and similar books) I liked the "House trilogy" (also called Prelude to Dune), but it is quite different to the originals.
I also liked the Legends of Dune trilogy, which is again quite different. I haven't read the rest (I kinda stopped reading Sci-Fi, they might be good).
I would recommend them, but expect less philosophy and more action.

Read Dune years ago and loved it, might have to have a re-read. I can recommend Foundation by Issac Ansimov, or I Robot by the same author. Both fantastic. Currently reading Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. I love his world building and can recoomend MistBorn series from him too
